Post: Ground-Level Acoustic Claim

Portrait screenshot of a verified X post with audio waveform and spectrogram panels below text arguing the shooter was at ground level about 70 to 90 feet away

What This Image Shows

The portrait-format version of the same acoustic post, from the verified account posting as Smartski, @2Sma. The attached software window shows waveform and spectrogram panels on a track labelled rear-right of tent, with the timeline running from 0.00 to 0.40 seconds.

The post text is identical to the wider capture in this cluster: acoustic analysis confirms shooter was near ground-level, about 70 to 90 feet away, not a rooftop; crack-bang intervals across all recordings of 0.08 to 0.14 seconds equal 70 to 90 feet, using 1141 feet per second at 82 degrees Fahrenheit; and the closest clip shows total crack and bang overlap with the impact clear, putting it under 100 feet.

Both captures are kept because the two formats circulated separately and were quoted separately. The claim is the poster's own conclusion from their own measurements, and it directly contradicts the official account of a rooftop shot at range — which is why it matters and why it needs to be weighed rather than adopted.
